The atmosphere in Liu's Mansion was a bit heavy tonight.

"Two taels of silver? Are you sure you heard it right? As soon as he took a bite of food, Liu Tong, who was beckoned out by the housekeeper, looked incredible.

The butler affirmed, "That's right, that's what everyone on the street says!" ”

Liu Tong inhaled as if he had a toothache: "One or two yesterday, two taels today, that is to say, ......"

The housekeeper did the math: "There are three taels, sir!" ”

Liu Tong was so angry that he only rolled his eyes, didn't he know how to count?

What do you do? Outside the household department!

In this era, the people of the household department should be the people with the strongest computing power in the world, and they are particularly shocked, okay!

Liu Tong walked into the house sadly, feeling that he had lost any appetite.

Liu Xue'er stretched out her hand and shouted at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, you have a good appetite, add another bowl of rice!" ”

In the Xiao family, Qiao Niang was holding the silver in both hands, and her tears were bursting with tears, just like holding a deck of spirit cards.

Qiaoqiao, who was beside her, was counting with her fingers: "We have three and a half!" ”

Xiao Feng was a little worried, this lady and son had never seen money, if they made a fortune one day, would they become Fan Jin?

There was marinated pork head meat on the table, which Xiao Feng bought when he came back, and there were quite a few of them.

Qiao Niang finally packed up her emotions and prepared to eat, but she frowned when she saw the meat.

"Master, if you don't buy so much next time, it's enough to eat one meal, it's still a little hot now, and it will be bad."

Xiao Feng looked at the piece of meat, he knew the common sense that the Ming Dynasty didn't have refrigerators, the problem was that the meat was bought by one meal.

"There's not a lot of meat, can't we eat it all in one meal?"

Qiao Niang shook her head and said, "It's enough for you to eat." I'd like to figure out a way to marinate it with salt, and it should be able to be put until tomorrow. ”

Xiao Feng looked at Qiaoqiao, she was looking around, trying not to look at the piece of pig's head meat.

Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, picked up the knife and slice it, slapped two cloves of garlic, added some coriander, and mixed with soy sauce, which was his favorite way to eat in his previous life.

Soy sauce is still a luxury at this time, and there is only a little bit at home, and Xiao Feng uses it all.

Qiao Niang hurriedly went to grab the knife and wanted to take over, but was shocked by Xiao Feng's superb knife skills.

When did the master practice the sword skills, it looks more proficient than me......

When Xiao Feng first started to do business in his previous life, he ran all over the world alone, if he didn't have some cooking skills, he could afford to eat in a restaurant alone?

Xiao Feng mixed the pig's head meat, didn't look at the plate held by Qiao Niang at all, and directly deducted it into the rice, and then stirred it all the time.

Qiao Niang was stunned, and Xiao Feng began to serve rice, with a big bowl of rice per person.

The pig's head meat is mixed in the hot dry rice, and Qiao Niang can't pick it out for Xiao Feng piece by piece! It's rude!

"Eat!" Xiao Feng took the lead in moving, gulping down and eating very deliciously.

Qiaoqiao glanced at her mother timidly, Qiaoniang picked up the bowl, covered her face, and tears fell on the hot pork head bibimbap.

I couldn't see my mother's face, Qiaoqiao was relieved and boldly picked up the big name, and soon buried her face in.

The lights of thousands of homes are all time for eating, and even the palace is no exception.

However, although the dinner in the palace was luxurious, it was extremely deserted, and it was not even as lively as the three members of the Xiao family.

Jiajing hasn't been back to the palace for a long time, he lives in the West Garden, cultivating and listening to politics.

The emperor is not there, the queen is still mourning, and the concubines naturally stay in their palace courtyards to eat.

The only thing that was a little angry was that in Concubine Kang's Jingyang Palace, King Yu Zhu Zaikun was allowed to visit his mother, and the mother and son were having a rare dinner together.

After eating, he went out of the palace and went back to his palace, so he deliberately ate a little slower and talked to his mother a lot.

Concubine Kang saw that the corner of her son's mouth was stained with a grain of rice, so she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her son's mouth.

Although he was only thirteen years old, Zhu Zaikun, who grew up in the emperor's house, looked a little deeper than his peers, at least that's how he felt.

Therefore, he felt that the matter of his mother wiping the rice grains damaged his deep image. However, it was not easy to see his mother, so he endured it with filial piety.

"I heard that you are fighting with King Jing again?" Concubine Kang found that the corners of her son's mouth were a little bruised.

Zhu Zaikun pouted: "He's not my opponent, don't worry about the concubine, his right eye is still blue." ”

Concubine Kang sighed with a headache: "Long live the preference for King Jing, you don't know, why bother......"

Zhu Zaikun raised his head stubbornly, looking indifferent, but there was something shining in his eyes.

At this time in Yonghe Palace, Concubine Lu Jing looked at King Jing's Zhu Zaizhen Wuqing's right eye distressedly.

"King Yu is too ruthless, you are a month younger than him, isn't this bullying!"

Zhu Zaizhen didn't care: "This time he didn't know which guard he learned from, and I was not prepared for a while." Wait until next time I want him to look good! ”

Concubine Lu Jing muttered something to go to Concubine Kang for comment, and Zhu Zaizhen waved his hand: "Men's affairs, men solve them by themselves!" ”

At this time, Jiajing had just finished eating in the Xiyuan Retreat, and was closing his eyes to recuperate.

The celebrant eunuch Huang Jin stood behind him, holding the dust, and his eyes were slightly closed.

Lu Bing stood in front of Jiajing, and made a routine report to Jiajing in an unhurried voice.

Jiajing has not been to the court since he was twenty-one years old, but he knows everything about the outside world, and he relies on Jinyiwei.

The big things have been said almost, and then according to the convention, Lu Bing will say some small things that are not important, but Jiajing may be interested.

"King Yu and King Jing had a fight outside the Wenhua Palace, and there was no winner or loser."

Jiajing's heart was like water, and there was no movement.

"There are people on the main street who set up a stall to tell fortunes and measure words, two taels of silver at a time."

Jiajing's eyelids moved: "Is it accurate?" ”

"It is said that on the first day, it was one tael of silver, and because the calculation was accurate, it became two taels of silver on the second day."

"There are too many liars now, a really capable Taoist, I have only invited two or three people to open the door over the years, who is he?"

"This person is not a Taoist, but a talent."

The corners of Jiajing's mouth twitched, obviously losing interest.

"Poor and boring, looking for someone to act, I have seen a lot of this kind of liar. Since he didn't swagger and deceive under the banner of Daomen, he didn't have to worry about him. ”

This is true, when Jiajing was still a little fresh meat, he paid a lot of money to hire people from the Taoist sect to enter the palace to learn, and he was deceived a lot at the beginning.

What ears listen to words, carry in the air, and make money in the oil pot, these tricks have been staged in the palace.

The key is that Xiao Xianrou couldn't understand it at the time, and he was really cheated of a lot of money, and two of them were also sealed.

Later, someone revealed the mystery, and Jiajing became angry and beat the two Taoist priests who cheated the money and did not run away decisively, and coveted the official position.

By now, Jiajing, who is in his forties, has been tested for a long time, although he worships Taoism, his IQ is definitely online, and he is not the mallet of the year.

At this time, a little Taoist priest was holding a brocade box to ask for it, and Huang Jin stepped forward and took the brocade box.

"Long live, Tao Daochang's Wujin Dan is baked, this is the head of the first furnace."

Huang Jin opened the box, and there were five round pills inside, shining with a metallic luster, and there was a strange medicinal fragrance.

There was no nonsense, Huang Jin simply picked up a pill and swallowed it.

Jiajing opened his eyes and looked at Huang Jin.

As one of Jiajing's most trusted people, Huang Jin could have found a little eunuch to try the pill, and Jiajing would not object.

But this is an attitude, Huang Jin personally tried Dan, and Jiajing will be more satisfied.

This not only represents Huang Jin's loyalty, but also represents that he also has a pious heart to admire the Tao.

Like those table tennis masters in later generations of government agencies, maintaining the same interests and hobbies as leaders is definitely good for the career.

After a while, Jiajing picked up a Wujin Dan, sent it down with ginseng tea, and began to officially enter a state of meditation.

Lu Bing retreated quietly, and then it was the quietest and most important moment of Jiajing's day, no one could disturb him, otherwise he would be unlucky.
